Hi John, >But, according to several vendors, the shipping weight for this >case is just a shade under 16lbs, which sounds about right.
Thanks for that. If that is the case then just the case would put it over our weight restrictions. I didn't think it would be usable, but atleast now I know. >It wasn't too bad on the way out, but on the way back it was a >whole different story - in the middle of our stay was 9/11, so >airlines were being a *lot* more strict on the return trip.

I was in Brisbane (about a 2 and a half hour flight away) visiting my family when 9/11 happened. At the same time Australia's second largest domestic airline folded - there were only 3 at the time. We had airline chaos for months, even with using the 747's that normally flew to the US to fly between capital cities. Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
